Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- Pinch of salt

Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg), then incorporate butter using a fork. Mix in milk and form dough into a ball. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, bring maple syrup and water to a boil. Add apples and simmer 3 minutes over low heat.
